For the third year in a row, Point of Pride is proud to cheer on a team of 12 trans, gender-diverse, and allied athletes as they take on the iconic TCS New York City Marathon.
This November, our 2026 charity team will join more than 50,000 runners in the world's largest marathon, representing not only their own personal goals, but a shared commitment to uplifting our trans siblings.
What began as a historic milestone in 2024—Point of Pride's debut as the only all-trans charity team in the event's history—has grown into a powerful annual tradition. Year after year, our athletes demonstrate the strength, resilience, joy, and determination that define our community, while raising critical funds to support trans people seeking life-saving healthcare and wellness resources.
As Point of Pride celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, we're especially honored to continue this tradition alongside a group of runners who embody the spirit of our mission: showing up for one another, pushing through challenges, and helping create a future where every trans person can thrive. We're incredibly grateful for each athlete's dedication, training, and fundraising efforts!
Chris Mosier, Point of Pride board member, Team USA athlete, and returning team coach, shares:
"There's nothing quite like the New York City Marathon. The energy, the crowds, and the sense of community are unforgettable. What makes this team especially meaningful is the opportunity to celebrate trans athletes while supporting trans people across the country who need access to care. Every year, I'm inspired by these runners and the stories they carry with them to the start line."
Please join us in cheering on these remarkable athletes as they make their 26.2 miles matter for trans people around the world!
